This tone is set by the instructors who show the same attitude, and are also really great at translating new concepts to people with differing levels of skill and physicality. Can't recommend it enough.

My wife loved swimming here while in her stay in Canberra. The pool was clean (we are sensitive to…read moreexcessive chlorine) and the staff was friendly. Also, if you are a student, you will get a discount "concession". I will be looking for an equivalent in Los Angeles. Thank you for reading!

I have been a member of the Canberra Fitness Centre for almost a year and I have never found a more…read morewelcoming and genuinely caring fitness environment. With all classes taken by qualified personal trainers I feel secure that I am using the right technique minimising my chance of injury. When I have had any issues they have never hesitated in providing me with exercise options. Class sizes are small meaning you get personal attention and no two classes are ever the same. Sorry Les Mills, but creativity and variety is not your strong point. I will keep returning and highly encourage anyone else to give it a go.

Great classes and the instructors are always very helpful and encouraging. I am really enjoying…read morethis yoga studio!

I was a weedy kid who always wanted to do a martial art, and never had the guts to try. A couple…read moremonths ago, as an adult I signed up to Kyodo Shuho and it's been everything I hoped for. Sensei Steve and his team are supportive, personable and professional, crafting training regimes and curriculums for each student. I appreciate the zest the team puts in to each training session, and their good humour with the inevitable mistakes that I make as a novice white belt. More broadly, it's great to be surrounded by a community of fellow adult students, with a variety of abilities, each trying to do their best while helping more junior students. I usually train three times a week; some train more often, others less so - everyone is welcome. Thanks to my teachers and my fellow students for a great time. See you at training!

I am a newer member and I will say that the gym staff which I have met so far are friendly and…read morehelpful. The club offers a variety of membership options, I opted for the gym and pool membership. I am recently relocated from the U.S. and I have to say that I am a bit surprised how much gyms in the area charge, especially when you consider that most are not 24 hours and have outdated equipment. This gym is no exception, they have an odd mix of very new equipment which is very clean and very old equipment, which is quite grungy. The restroom, shower and changing facilities for both the gym and pool are in desperate need of remodel or at very minimum commercial grade cleaning. The same could be said for the pool itself. That all having been said, I don't want to give the impression that the facilities are unhygienic as I am sure they are clean. They simply look dirty and worn. As for the variety of equipment, they certainly seem to have everything one could want or need, memberships often include classes and the fees are competitive with other local establishments. Although this location is not 24 hours, many memberships provide access to other 24 hour locations if you are looking for more flexibility in the schedule. I simply wish locals would stop settling for substandard quality at prestige pricing for various services such as this.

My gripe is with the cafe inside, the food has always been average, however on my last visit, I had a coffee there and by midnight I developed symptoms of food poisoning. This followed with the worst stomach pains I'd ever had in my life, 5 counts of vomiting, headaches, and chills. My sickness lasted nearly 12 hours and I was lucky that it wasn't worse. But I deduced it was food poisoning from this place because it was the one drink my partner didn't have that day and we ate everything else together. As I look back on the day I was there last, I remember the floors were filthy with crumbs and trash. The tables looked like they'd never been wiped (or cleared of their dishes for hours) and the flies were horrendous, constantly swatting them away, buzzing in my ear, landing on my hand while I was drinking my coffee. This level of unsanitary will always reflect the kitchen of an establishment. Enjoy the grounds but don't eat here.
